Here’s what Aaron Rodgers really thinks about Caleb Williams and the new-look Bears originally appeared on NBC Sports Chicago

A win over Green Bay is a major goal for the Bears in 2024-25. And while Chicago’s new-look offense offers as good a chance as any in recent years to get it done, besting Green Bay this season will be far from a slam dunk.

Aaron Rodgers gave his two cents about the current state of the rivalry on “Pardon My Take.”

The New York Jets quarterback answered “Yeah, I do” when asked if he think Caleb Williams will be successful in the NFL but stopped short of saying the Bears’ defense has what it takes to beat Jordan Love and his former team.

“I like [D’Andre] Swift, I like [Keenan] Allen, I like the receiver from Washington [Rome Odunze],” Rodgers said. And of course, you’ve still got DJ [Moore].

“I think that team is almost good enough to beat the Packers.”

The Bears haven’t beaten the Packers since December 2018 and went 5-24 against Rodgers throughout his Green Bay tenure.

The Bears’ opportunity to shift the rivalry will come when they host the Packers on Nov. 17 and in the season finale on Jan. 5 at Lambeau Field.
